Personally I’d keep her. Her PT isn’t horrible. Here’s some of my horses that match PT and have decent amounts of points.

300+ points

And lots more

You won’t really know how good of a show pony she will be until she levels off. I would say if you have the space, keep her. You always need younger guys to start taking the place of your older guys that are closer to aging out. I’ve found my 9 and 10PT ponies tend to find their feet quicker than their 11+ PT counterparts, since they don’t shoot up in the show levels as fast, so they can bring in some money.

And for perspective, here is my 5th ranked show pony in all time points. She’s bringing in more than some of my 12 PT guys are, with a PT of 10.4

If you sort any large number of horses by best showing, you'll actually see the consistents in the middle, and half the inconsistents in the front and half in back, sandwiching the consistent ones.

In other words, the consistents are more or less guaranteed to be "alright" while an inconsistent might be either "great" or "poor" - better or worse, not only worse. :)
